Help deciding continued educational path

I need help deciding what educational path to take!...

I have a B.A. in Psychology and am not sure i should go to a community college for nursing, a 4 year college and get a BSN (hoping some of my credits will transfer) or take prerequisite and try to get into a masters program for nursing (if this is even possible). I would like to start taking classes as soon as possible in the Philadelphia/Bucks County area.

My ultimate goal is to eventually have a career more focused on nutritional counseling and aid...or possibly becoming a end of life nurse/coach. (I know they are rather different careers!)

Any information or tips would be so great!!!

    You won't be able to get into a master's nursing program without becoming an RN.

    You could attend an accelerated BSN program since you already have a bachelor's and there are pros and cons to this route. Or, you can get into an ASN program and complete your BSN online while you work as an RN.

    Definitely think towards BSN as the trend is to hire only that level of entry level nurses. Might as well be prepared. I recommend you contact a state university/college in your area for best prices and have them mail you brochures on the programs (or go online) and then talk to someone. Might be worth a trip to talk to an advisor before you spend money
